I'm Carol Schrader, and I established the studio in Naples when I moved here in 2014 after teaching and performing in the Chicago area for many years. I teach all styles, including jazz, pop, new age, and classical, and give valuable professional tips to help my students play their best. My goal as a piano instructor is for my students to benefit from the lessons, learn quickly, and to find great enjoyment in being able to play the piano now and for the rest of their lives.

We are a 12 year old Music Teaching Studio educating kids to adults in Piano, Voice, Violin, Guitar, Acting, Audition Prep, College Prep and more. Established in 1998 by Joanna S Nicholson, it was her dream to combine the best in pedagogical instruction combined with what she calls "The Modern Edge". This means fully utilizing the technology of today to enhance the music learning experience as relevent to todays music world. Joanna studied at the University of Toronto's Glenn Gould School and studied from age of 5-18 with Mrs. Mary Mackey, a retired Juillard alumni, & reputed performer in Canada. The appeal of learning here is children LOVE to come their lessons, leave feeling great and really LEARN! Our tuition is affordable so ALL study music, language of the Universe. JS
